Anti-Crow Airsoft Gun

[goobernoodles]

There are some insanely obnoxious crows that love to hang out right outside of my window as well as pick at the roof of the garage outside. Extremely loud, and I have a growing hatred for these creatures.

Can someone recommend a cheap/accurate airsoft gun to hit these stupid things with?

Red Rider always works. 300ft/sec might not penetrate.

Actually, mine is a crossman.

Hope they aren't endangered.

I got a M4A1 for ~$30 off ebay for my brother. It works pretty well for ravens and crows.

Not so good for scaring deer. Doesn't faze them at all.

Just get a pellet gun.

You can try a potato cannon.

 

[OCGuy]

Man up and use a .22

 

[qliveur]

With a scope.

Crows are cool birds. One day, I'm gonna find a nest that's within my reach, and I'll snag a crow chick to keep as a pet. It'll be the coolest thing ever :^)

The main thing is there are other houses around, so I'm trying to get something that isn't going to break a window across the street if I miss.

Oh.....in that case.....flamethrower.

I've been thinking about that. I made quite a few back in high school, and have been itching to make one lately. Maybe I'll make a mini-one again.

Not sure what the neighbors would think seeing a flame shooting out of a 2nd story window. Personally, I think it'd be awesome.

careful that you be sure to deal with them completely. Crows are smart and devious. if you simply make them angry, they will just go about plotting your demise, and will likely succeed.

They are far smarter than domestic cats. believe you me.

 

[OCGuy]

Use Windex on your slider and they will just fly into it.

Get a shotgun.

Shooting plastic pellets on them will not do anything, crows will take up fights with cats and bobcats over prey if they are hungry so...

I suppose a good air rifle could do it, but a bb gun is highly unpredictable and for shooting birds it's useless unless you get a pump air rifle and use bird shot, with a proper pump air gun you can do that...

Still, you're american so get an 870, it's my preference.

just go to a local gun store and look at their selection. get one that has an electronic fire and shoots 320-375fps and youll scare em. couold kill em too, i spose. mine shoots 360fps and will go right through a full, unopened mt dew can. fully auto too, it will smear an orange without much missing.

Mo match for an A70.

Less caliber longer range, even someone untrained with a partner can hit a 20cm target two miles away with that.

Indeed, mo match.

Not sure how the neighbors/police would like it if I was blowing up birds with a 12 gauge in the 'hood.

Heh, you know i meant no match, the AS50 is a shitty rifle all around, i doubt you'll find many people who have used it extensively who will tell you they liked it.

There isn't a single thing it's better at than the A70, it's almost twice the size, has less accuracy and less than one third of the fire rate...

Israel bought the A70, it should tell you something, we got the new Tavor for next rounds with a ten year shift, i'll be retired by then... but i WANT ONE!

It's the US, he can always say he scared off a robber and he'll be just fine.

I have no idea want an A70 is.

You can get high power pellet gun (1000 FPS) for like $120, might be worth it. If you just want to scare them I supposed an airsoft gun might work, or bang some pots and pans together.

Long range sniper rifle specific to the SAS and IDF, you won't find much info on it on the net if any, some here will be able to provide some info if you ask them, you won't get much more than range accuaracy and rate of range fire accuracy from me, it's higher, a LOT higher than anything comparable.

You can actually hit a 20cm target two miles away and kill it with EVERY shot at ALL times, the system comes with software for targeting and auto settings at any given range.

If you are one who leads any troops into an area, perhaps sitting still for 20 hr's plus then when it moves you need to know that every shot hits to go forward.

I've shot it a few times but i'm by no means an expert on the thing, i've got other things to do while it's in use.
